I'm still looking for the overall points/standings for this competition too, sailboater - were you ever able to find them?

The best I can find is at the end of the Nationals/AmCup Final results, where they've posted the AmCup Series rankings. It doesn't show the actual points for AmCup 2, but I presume that the Series points shown for AmCup 2 would indicate their overall rankings for that competition(?):
